Kodein is a painless Kotlin dependency injection container with a simple declarative DSL. It supports all Kotlin Multiplatform targets and integrates with Android, Compose, and Ktor.

Use cases

• manage dependencies in a Kotlin multiplatform app
• inject dependencies into Android activities and fragments
• use dependency injection with Ktor server
• lazily instantiate services in a Kotlin project
• replace Dagger or Koin with a simpler DI container
• bind interfaces to implementations in Kotlin

When to choose

• you want a simple, idiomatic Kotlin DI DSL
• you need DI across JVM, Android, iOS, JS, and Native targets
• you use Compose or Ktor and want first-class integration

When to avoid

• you need compile-time DI verification like Dagger
• your project is Java-only without Kotlin
• you need a very large-scale enterprise DI framework with advanced scoping
